Engineering ethics in general is the application of code of ethics and professional standards. Ethical regulations differ only with respect to cultural, social and political conditions and they have different effects. Since, the standardized ethical regulations of engineering are not codified according to the needs of engineers group and secondly, SMSM and IRSCE are the only ethical documents which are recognized among engineers group. So, the codification of professional ethics of engineering is necessary to provide the local condition which should be proportional with cultural, social and political characteristics. In this study, in order to codify regulation, after studying scientific sources, the code of professional ethics of engineering in different countries are considered in the surrounding area. Then, classification and primary form of draft of ethical regulation are suggested by interviewing and consulting with experienced engineers. The draft was designed in the form of questionnaire for validation. The data was analyzed by SPSS after distributing and collecting data among the experienced people. Finally, for presenting the code of professional ethics of engineering in IRAN, the draft is proportionate with local condition of our country according to the results of questionnaire.
